But little if any, Hardware was used. Today this is all changed and Builders’ Hardware is an important part in the plans and specifications, We have in stock Builder’s Hardware, Sash, Doors Glass, Faint. Hoofing and we do spouting.

The bridge over the Wabash will not be built this year as only SII,OOO was appropriated and a good bridge cannot be built for that. There are fif- > teen other bridges to be built, ranging in cost from $250 to SI,OOO. — s Bluffton News. Throughout the rural districts, mov- ' ing seems to be the most popular pastime just at this season. March the 5 first is usually the time when farms • which have been sold, change hands, new renters usually take possession on the first of March and for this reaL son so much moving is being seen. Judging from the very large number of public sales that have been held i this year, there has been much more s ,han the usual amount of changing about.

The Indianapolis News says: "Mrs. William S. Wells, wife of the representative from Allen county, after a visit of several days to her home at Fort Wayne, has returned to the city and will remain with her husband until the session closes. Representative and Mrs. Wells will then go to French Lick for a stay of ten days. ’ A report from Ft. Wayne today is to the effect that the condition of Mrs. Amos Cole is very serious. At a consultation yesterday, the surgeons decided that three separate operations would be necessary and they were performed today. Two operations were performed before this. Mr. Cole is at the hospital with his wife. — Bluffton News. The auditor of Huntington county threatens that he won't put the C. B. & C. subsidy tax of $98,000 on the June tax duplicate as he is satisfied the road won’t be built by the guaranteed time, January 1, 1908. The auditor don’t know Smith Bracey or he would put the tax on right away and save himself trouble. If he don't Bracey may run a train over him before June first. Dr. J. M. Miller tells a pretty good story on himself in relation to his writing, which is very poor at the best. A lady came into his office, stated her case and the doctor gave her a box of tablets, writing these directions on the box: "Take one every four hours until better.' The lady had no more than reached her home until the phone rang and his patient said: “Doctor, I am unable to take those tablets in butter. What shall I do?” Os course, Dr. Miller j was forced to explain that the word I he mistook for “butter " was “better" | and he says hereafter he will be •r careful in his writing.

Winifred Elingham is taking a fall out with lagrippe, and at this time the latter has the best of it. The Eagle Aerie will meet this i evening at the hall above the Winnes I Shoe Store. Urgent business. I Miss Ella Eddington of Decatur, ■ Ind., who has been attending the millinery opening at Indianapolis, stopped on her return home and visited I her brother, A. H. Eddington and fam- ■ I ily.—Redkey Times. The state board of health will hold a meeting early next week for the - purpose of drafting a set ,of rules and regulations for the enforcement of • the new pure food law and for the purpose of appointing the inspectors i and assistant chemists who will be i connected with the sod laboratory, i A drug chemist will also be selected. Advertising your business is just like any other department, it must 1 be done in an intelligent, systematic manner if you wish to reap any bene- ■ fit. Persisting, “keeping everlasting- ' ly at it” is what bring results. Spasmodic advertising really works an inThe men who have achieved success invariably used printer’s ink without stint. One of the cold days last week one of our friends went to Chicago on a little business. Feeling cold he stopped and was standing over a coal grating in the sidewalk, when along came another man from Decatur. The gentleman remarked that these pesky things might be all right to warm churches, but when it comes to heating up a city like Chicago, they ain’t much account. This is the time of the year when trees, vines and shrubs should be trimmed without causing damage. If trees are trimmed in the “light of the moon,” or after the sap has commenced running, trimmed places will become running sores and leaves will drop all summer. The city of Decatur has an ordinance requiring all trees to be trimmed so that the branches will not come within six feet of the ground. Whenever anybody tells you that success is at the top of a high lofty mountain, don’t believe it. You will find nothing there but rocks and snow. You can invariably find starvation and death there, but not success. That grows down in the valley where men i live and move and have their being. ■ To find success pitch in and dig, but ■ don't go climbing around over barren, rocky heights—you may reach the I summit, but you will have to come down for your meals, and it is safer to ■ stay down and dig anyhow.—Ex. That a property owner who can establish in court the fact that an assessment against his property for street improvement is in excess of the actual benefit which that property derives from the improvement may. force a lowering of his assessment to | an equitable figure has been decided I by Judge Leathers and Judge Carter of the Marion Superior court. This ’ is believed to be one of the most im- 1 portant street improvement decisions ' rendered in Indiana in years. It is ' based on a provision in the cities and towns act of 1905, which provision was a re-enactment of a law passed in 1901, and which is now passed upon by the courts for the first time.
